Clear Feather of the Ring

The two walked along the gravel road into the depths of the backyard, and sat on a stone bench under a bush of roses to enjoy the breeze, while noises could be heard from the distant room from time to time.

Long Tianyu checked the time, it was already midnight.

"Are you sleepy?" Seeing that Yi Qing hadn't spoken much, he looked at him through the streetlight next to him with a tired look on his face.

Yi Qing originally thought that he would tell him to go back, but Long Tianyu said immediately afterward: "If you are sleepy, lean on my shoulder and squint, and when I wake up, I will drive you."

"You have a bad brain, drink less wine in the future." Yi Qing stretched out his hand and carefully folded off a rose that was hanging above his head, holding it in his hand to look at the thin leaves.

Long Tianyu laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it, and took a deep breath into the night sky, "Did Auntie say anything about you?"

"No, it's quite normal."

"I told you earlier, I didn't lie to you, your mother is quite open-minded."

Yi Qing didn't speak, and Long Tianyu said again: "I think your dad should be quite talkative, and I'll go to see the old man after a while. Besides painting, does your dad have any other hobbies, such as... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he already felt the cold eyes of the people next to him looking at him, Long Tianyu stopped the topic in a timely manner, and asked instead: "Will you come back for the Chinese New Year?"

"maybe."

"Do you want me to accompany you then?" He took a deep breath and swallowed the smoke, the spicy and bitter taste choked his chest.

Yi Qing turned her head to look at him, and squeezed the rose tightly in her hand.

Long Tianyu also turned his face away, stretched his hands over Yi Qing's shoulders, stretched out his hands to break off a rose branch that fell on his shoulders and threw it on the ground, then sat back to the original position, smiled and said to Yi Qing: "I'm just talking, don't look at me like that. In our line of work, Chinese New Year is the busiest time. Even if I want to accompany you, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to go there."

"So busy?" Yi Qing looked down at the rose branch that Long Tianyu threw on the ground. If he had broken it off a few months earlier and put it in the flower bed, he could have survived.

Long Tianyu put out the cigarette, and sighed: "If you really don't come back for the New Year, I will always go there to accompany you. I don't want to spend the New Year's Eve alone."

Listening to what he said, Yi Qing couldn't help exerting some force on the hand holding the branch, and a small hard thorn pierced through the thin skin immediately into the fingertips, causing sharp pain.

He wiped the blood from his fingers on the leaves calmly, then threw the branches into the darkness, put his hands in his pockets, stood up, and stomped his feet: "It's cold, go back."

Long Tianyu sat on the stone bench without moving, and looked up at the sky: "The news says that it will snow this month, so it shouldn't be far away."

"Oh."

"It rarely snows in Paris, right? When you were at home last year, there were only a few light snowfalls here. I heard that there will be heavy snow this year."

"Ah."

"Will you chat, you?" Long Tianyu finally stood up, walked to Yi Qing's side, naturally put his right hand into Yi Qing's coat, and held the hand inside, "Just don't want to stay with me any longer A while? We haven't seen each other for weeks."

Yi Qing's hand in his pocket twitched out, but he couldn't move. He tried for a while, and then he stopped struggling. Ren Long Tianyu walked side by side with him and held his hand. The two walked towards the house, "Just saw it a few days ago."

"Where is it?" He didn't respond for a while.

"Paris."

Then, the two of them walked for a while in silence, and when they were almost at the end of the path, Long Tianyu suddenly realized, "Oh, you're talking about the time when Liangzi and I went to Paris to pick you up. Cough, I've been thinking about it for a long time. , I finally remembered."

"Well, you're out of your mind."

When the two of them entered the room, Yi Qing immediately threw back the coat he was wearing to Long Tianyu. Hearing the screams of slaughtering pigs coming from upstairs, after thinking about it, he was still in the empty living room sat down.

Long Tianyu often came to Zhang Liang's house, and every familiar place in the house was like his own home. He found a clean teacup to make a cup of tea for Yi Qing, and then went to the cabinet to find sober medicine for drinking.

Yi Qing drank tea, looked at the layout of the room, "Liangzi has a good eye, this house is well decorated and designed."

"Cough," Long Tianyu complained slightly: "Li Jinghao asked someone to do it all. How can that rough guy Liangzi have such aesthetics?"

Yi Qing "tsk" a few times.

"But in terms of our family, your vision is better than mine. I will listen to you when it comes to buying a house." Long Tianyu said naturally.

The topic went on and on forever and then turned back to the two of them, Yi Qing was a little speechless by what he said.

The two were about to start staring at each other when they heard a shrill and excited voice coming from the upstairs corridor: "Brother Yu, where were you just now, come up quickly, they are forcing Brother Hao and Brother Liang plays Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing, come up and watch."

Yi Qing slanted his body to the side, looked up upstairs, and it turned out that it was Qiu Guoguo lying on the stair rail upstairs and shouting down.

Looking downstairs from where Qiu Guoguo was standing, he could only see Long Tianyu sitting on the sofa downstairs. He didn't see it until Yi Qing came out to the side, and then he looked at Long Tianyu's face happily just now. He showed a look of surprise, then smiled and waved to Yi Qing: "Brother Qing, you are here. Come up quickly, it's fun."

"Will you go?" Long Tianyu asked Yi Qing.

"Isn't that why you came here?!" Yi Qing walked upstairs after speaking.

Long Tianyu immediately followed behind him, and the two entered Zhang Liang and Li Jinghao's new house one after the other.

In the room, melon seeds, candies, clothes, etc. were thrown all over the floor. A group of people occupied the bed and sat on it to watch Zhang Liang and Li Jinghao play role-playing, and stuffed a lot of money directly into people's crotches.

A female Han Xing is not shy among such a group of big hooligans. She still holds a small leather whip in her hand and whips the whip at "Pan Jinlian" beside her from time to time, laughing so boldly that Yang Yila can't pull it live.

Long Tianyu turned his head to look at Yi Qing, saw that he was still smiling and didn't show any displeasure, so he relaxed a little, then pulled him into the room, squeezed together on the big bed and sat next to each other, Together with the brothers, he booed loudly and teased the two grooms.

The two of them sat at the end leaning against the back of the bed, and Long Tianyu sat behind Yi Qing, with his arms around his neck, and his upper body lay on his back.He put his head on Yi Qing's shoulder, and after a while, he and a group of old hooligans started driving with pornographic jokes.

Yi Qing only heard Long Tianyu's explosion-like shouts continuously ringing in his ears, and his body swayed with the unconscious force of Long Tianyu's hands. Everyone looked at Li Jinghao and Zhang Liang together, and laughed like everyone else.

Finally, once again, he participated in Long Tianyu's life again, it was the hustle and bustle, the warmth, the heavy unreasonable joy lying on his back.

Yi Qing didn't even remember how the show ended that night. When he woke up in the morning, it was already bright outside.He was lying on an unfamiliar bed, unable to recall anything after last night for a few minutes after waking up.

Just as he was thinking, Long Tianyu came out of the bathroom in his room, wearing a different suit from last night.

"Where is this?" Yi Qing got up from the bed, already changed into clean pajamas.He started to get his clothes from the chair next to him and change.

"My house. Everyone quarreled until four or five o'clock last night. You fell asleep long ago, so I brought you back. Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready."

"What time is it?" Yi Qing turned his back to Long Tianyu, while taking off his clothes and pants, he took his own clothes from the chair and put them on.

Long Tianyu watched him bend over and clean his clothes on the chair. The morning light shone on the floor through the inner thighs, making the shadows of his legs on the floor straight and slender.

He stood there, staring in a daze. It took him a long time to come back and look at his watch, and replied, "It's only past nine o'clock, and it's still early."

"I'm going back first, and I have to catch a plane tonight." Yi Qing said to Long Tianyu after changing his clothes and pants.

Long Tianyu followed him down the stairs, and asked behind him: "Are you going back this afternoon? In such a hurry?"

"If you come back without asking for leave, you have to catch up with a manuscript when you go back."

"Why are there always endless jobs? How about changing jobs?" Long Tianyu frowned.

Yi Qing stood on a few stairs below him, turned his head and glanced at him: "Aren't you the same?!"

He didn't stay for breakfast, but asked Long Tianyu to send him home.

As soon as Long Tianyu got out of the car, before Long Tianyu's car turned around, Yi Zifeng had already heard the sound of the car and walked out of the living room, standing at the door and looking towards the road.

Long Tianyu turned the car around, stuck his head out of the car window, and shouted at Yi Zifeng across the main road: "Brother, good morning, are you at home?!"

Yi Qing was almost at the gate. Hearing Long Tianyu's shout, he couldn't help shaking his body, stopped and turned his head to stare at Long Tianyu expressionlessly.

Long Tianyu smiled back at Yi Qing, honked the car horn three times, and then drove away from Yi Zifeng's sight.

Yi Zifeng stood at the door and became a black Baogong. He couldn't wait for Yi Qing to enter the living room and asked, "Mom said you came back last night? I heard it was a classmate's wedding. I haven't seen you coming back for so many years." Have a party with which classmate, why did you rush back from there overnight for a wedding? Also, that Long Tianyu was with you?"

Yi Zifeng chased after Yi Qing and asked so many questions in a row. In fact, what he wanted to know the most was just the last sentence. How could Long Tianyu be with you? !

Qing's mother had already heard their voices in the room, and hurried out, seeing Yi Zifeng still perseveringly questioning Yi Qing, she immediately walked over and interrupted: "Zifeng, Yi Qing's affairs are his own decisions. , don't worry about it."

"I don't care if I see him with Long Tianyu?" Yi Zifeng pointed at Yi Qingchao's mother and shouted, "If he is with others, Xia Wenyi, and other ordinary boys, will I care? But That's Long Tianyu, Mom, have you ever thought about how big of a commotion the two of them will cause in the city when they get together, do you know the consequences?"

"I'm not an official, I don't know. Mom doesn't think as far as you do. I don't care whoever Yi Qing is with. As long as he likes him, I agree. He is your brother, so it's right for you to care about him , but don't overdo it." Qing's mother faced Yi Zifeng, and for the first time, she did not keep silent when the two sons were arguing.

She has been in poor health for the past few years, Yi Qing's matter has always been her heart disease, her stagnation has accumulated for a long time, and she has been recuperating at home after retirement, taking medicine from time to time, no matter how angry Yi Zifeng is, in her He didn't dare to say too much in front of him.After hearing what Qing's mother said, he didn't say any more, turned around and went into the study.

Yi Qing stood in the living room for a while, asked the nanny to make ginseng tea for Qing's mother, and then went upstairs by herself.

He went back to the room, turned on the computer, dragged the half-written manuscript out of the mailbox, and planned to finish it before leaving at night and send it back to his colleagues.

He just thought it was just an ordinary day, working, eating, drinking tea and talking with his father after dinner, and then flying back to Paris in the evening, how could he expect that a few hours later, the low-key and peaceful days he worked so hard to maintain would no longer exist. Back to the past.
